Sir David Cox is among the most important statisticians of the past
half-century. He has made pioneering and highly influential
contributions to a uniquely wide range of topics in statistics and
applied probability. His teaching has inspired generations of
students, and many well-known researchers have begun as his
graduate students or have worked with him at early stages of their
careers. Legions of others have been stimulated and enlightened by
the clear, concise, and direct exposition exemplified by his many
books, papers, and lectures. This book presents a collection of
chapters by major statistical researchers who attended a conference
held at the University of Neuchatel in July 2004 to celebrate David
Cox's 80th birthday. Each chapter is carefully crafted and
collectively present current developments across a wide range of
research areas from epidemiology, environmental science, finance,
computing and medicine. Edited by Anthony Davison, Ecole
Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland; Yadolah Dodge,
University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; and N. Wermuth, Goteborg
University, Sweden, with chapters by Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen,
Sarah C. Darby, Christina Davies, Peter J. Diggle, David Firth,

Rodriguez-Iturbe, Andrea Rotnitzky, Neil Shephard, Scott L. Zeger,
and including a brief biography of David Cox, this book is suitable
